It's all pure $QIO and non-transparent now, on DUNE:: and BUZZEL::
A decnet finger to MIM::DUNE:: seems to work except that I have to add a character
otherwise MIM seems to think it's MIM::DUNE:
resulting in no such user DUNE:
so MIM::DUNE::: works.

May I suggest you log into MIM, and try it yourself until it works... ;-)
By interoperate, I meant that @host might signal a
tcp/ip finger call to host whereas host:: would be decnet.
Ah. Well, yes. That is what I do, and what I would recommend. But others
might be doing things in different ways...
Note also the placement of the user:
user@host
vs.
host::user
